In the stomata, or the pores in the leaves that allow the leaves to breathe, wind helps to pull the water out of the pores but because of the decrease in pressure cause by the liquid being sucked out of the pore, water gets pulled up the tubes in the tree (xylem). The mechanism is called capillary action.
